From the minute Katy Perry was announced as the latest star to take part in James Cordenโs Carpool Karaoke, we knew we were in for a treat, and sure enough, she hasnโt disappointed.
The singer took James on a whistle-stop tour through her back catalogue, which also served to remind us what a brilliant pop star she is.
Katy belted out classics including โFireworkโ, โDark Horseโ, โRoarโ and โI Kissed A Girlโ as she jumped in Jamesโ car for his popular โLate Late Showโ sketch.
She also gave new tracks โBon Appรฉtitโ and โSwish Swishโ an airing, with the latter particularly causing a stir.
Itโs thought the song is a diss track aimed at Taylor Swift, given the pairโs tumultuous history, and Katy did nothing to deny that theory during her โCarpool Karaokeโ.
Speaking to James about their feud, Katy said: โThereโs a situation. Honestly, itโs really like... she started it and itโs time for her to finish it.โ
Addressing claimed the fall-out happened when Taylor stole Katyโs backing dancers for her โRedโ tour, she continued: โItโs so crazy. They asked me before they went on [Taylorโs] tour if they could goโฆ and I was like, โyeah, of course, Iโm not on a record cycleโฆ get the work and sheโs great. But I will be on a record cycle probably in about a year, so be sure to put a 30-day contingency in your contract, so you can get out if you want to join meโ.
โSo that year came up, right? And I texted all of them because Iโm very close with them. And they [spoke to their management], and they got fired.โ
Katy went on: โI tried to talk to [Taylor] about it, and she wouldnโt speak to meโฆ It was a full shutdown, and then she writes a song about me and itโs like โOK, cool cool cool, thatโs how you wanna deal with it?โ Karma.โ
Katy then revealed that while she was โready for that [bullshit] to be doneโ, Taylor should be aware of โthe law of cause and effectโ, insisting: โYou do something, and thereโs going to be a reaction. And trust me, daddy. Thereโs going to be a reaction. Itโs all about karma, right?
โI think personally that women, together, not divided, and none of this petty shitโฆ women together will heal the world.โ
